What if I suggest you a method to judge your day. For no monetary criteria suits the definion of success, neither any sort of distribution of power defines what it means to be a meaningful life. Modernity has already brought formalisation of human minds which are concerned with triviality of procedural wisdom. The "Agentic State" (Stanley Milgram, Obedience) of human mind is concerned to follow what is written or what is directed than what is relevant in any given condition. The "Society of Control" (Deleuze and Guattary) has reduced human agency into the state of algorithmic wisdom, a Matrix is running on where it has become an impossible task to decipher what is real or naturally driven and what is fictitious reality. Market ethics has already established a set of institutions, including juridical formations of State and other social and political institutions, coupled with enfeebling human's capabilities to think and create, have denounced human society with shameful ideological impoverishment. Knowledge creation has become a tool to create quite a few machines for certain other extraneous purposes. Justice and ethical contours of it has been stripped from its ethical content, and a market oriented necessity has transformed its semantics to merely an institution which is concerned more about market order than justice in substantial way. Be it university, hospital, or any government- private office documents are more lively than humans. Here concern is not about action but the fear of action, consequences of action. The formal mind is less acceptable to change. It can receive what is already inculcated through market ethics. Humans emancipation is not visible from the distance I can see. Only the birth of substantive reason could restore us to peace and meaningful existence.

He is explicit that: “Thus the will to live everywhere preys upon itself, and in different forms is its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as a manufactory for its own use. Yet even the human race...reveals in itself with most terrible distinctness this conflict, this variance of the will with itself…”. Every ‘will to become' is a movement, encompassing the history of past and future; the degree of rationality and its gradation are normativized by thoughts as hierarchy of souls and monads. Human being as likeness and image of God possess the highest truth, indeed! In fact, human being is the only species who possess and owns the truth, it is the only mode of being who puts truth at stake, constructs its horizons and claim of legitimacy and illegitimacy, defi...
